دور منظمة العمل الدولية في حماية حقوق الشعوب الأصلية على مواردها الوراثية

الملخص EN

The rights of indigenous peoples to their genetic resources are subject to infringement by many developed countries and their major corporations.

Biological piracy is one of the most widespread violations against these peoples, which requires the intervention of the international community to provide the necessary protection.

The ILO has had a role in the adoption of these rights through Convention 169 on indigenous and tribal peoples.

This study sought to identify the extent to which the ILO was able to establish the necessary protection for the rights of indigenous peoples over their genetic resources, as they were the greatest representative of the workers.

The study found that the ILO played a fundamental role in the recognition of these rights but did not provide the necessary legal mechanisms to protect them.

Its provisions were not strict against the violators of these rights, which requires further efforts, given the importance of these rights in achieving social justice and the concept of Decent work.
